“The Trump people are playing catch-up ball. They have to still worry about New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, some big states going forward which are winner-take-most,” he told host Stephen K. Bannon. “But we also have to wonder, what is the psychological impact of Trump’s support in those states now he has lost a stand-alone primary and lost it by double digits.” Stone added Trump still leads substantially in those states’ polls.

Trump called Cruz a “Trojan horse” for the establishment and “worse than a puppet” after the loss, but may still net six delegates.
